SAURABH BAKSHI

Summary

Motivated and disciplined engineer with practical experience in the field of precision mechanical design

and support of biomedical, industrial equipment and scientific instruments. Proven experience in

completing project deliverables on time while meeting stringent quality standards and demonstrated strong

communication and team leadership skills.

Current Position

(Aug 2013 – Present)

Warranty Specialist Engineer, Jacobsen TEXTRON

Conduct root cause failure analysis of mechanical, electrical a nd hydraulic parts and systems that

are used in industrial grade turf care equipment.

Design test setups and establish procedures to conduct FMEA studies and analyze data to identify

failure trends.

Document results and convey report to design engineering a nd production for changes in product

design or assembly procedures. Communicate results to the supplier design team if necessary.

Discuss failure containment action and work on recovering warranty expenses.

Key person for design and development of Customer Care dashboard in Qlikview, a BI platform.

This resulted in improved recovery initiatives by 40% and reduced overall warranty by 3.5% for

2014.

This is a highly hands-on position that requires critical troubleshooting and decision making skills.

Minor in Industrial Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering, University of Pune, India (June 2009)

Relevant Academic Projects

Design and Manufacturing of Medical Devices: Designed a revolutionary “preservative-free,

measured eye-drops dispensing system” in SolidWorks 2010 adhering to FDA standards and

developed a rapid prototype by 3D printing. Then designed and manufactured a mold for

manufacturing the product by injection molding using ProE & SurfCam V5 package for CNC

machining and developed a working prototype.

Cardiovascular Biomechanics: Simulated the vessel wall displacement by accounting for radial

effects in addition to the longitudinal displacement due to blood pressure under pulsatile flow in the

carotid artery using Simulink.

Design of Electromechanical Systems: Developed a model of a low power energy harvester based

on a tethered buoy concept in ProE to generate electricity from waves. Used FEMM, ANSYS

package for analysis.
